Aircontact Lite 40 + 10 Trekking Backpack

About the Deuter Aircontact Lite 40 + 10

Deuter’s Aircontact Lite 40 + 10, is aimed towards those who require a low-weight pack with all the functionality of a traditional bag.

Incorporated into the design is Deuter’s Aircontact system, where the anatomical profiled X frame offers a balance of torsional rigidity and flexibility to follow your body movements and transfer weight through its perfect back fit. Breathable padding with venting foam chambers circulates air through the Aircontact cushions keeping your back cool, this will reduce perspiration for long treks. This back system also features Deuter's VariQuick adjustment system, allowing you to change the back length with ease for a comfortable fit.

The shoulder straps anatomical S-shape follows the neck and shoulder contour and thus prevents chafing or pressure points and the padded hip fins are ergonomically shaped with adjustable inserts. On top of that the load adjustment shoulder strap tech and Pull Forward belt system allow the user to cinch the load forward for weight to be distributed parallel to the spinal cord for vertical load-bearing comfort. This ensures the pack has an anatomically stable fit, paramount for all-day comfort.

Like conventional mid-sized backpacks, the Lite 40 is a top-loading rucksack design, with a separate lower compartment for storage of a sleeping bag or bulkier items. Elasticated pockets on the side of the pack facilitate the carry of items for ease of access such as water bottles, maps or tent poles. Similarly, zippered hip belt pockets can be used to safely store items at close access.

The generously sized main compartment of the Lite 40 features a stretch inner wet storage compartment, ideal for damp clothing and the pack features handy trekking poles and ice axe holders to keep them secure when not in use. Additionally, the volume can be increased by a further 10 litres through the use of the extendable lid, enabling you to carry more.

Aimed towards the weight-conscious hiker who doesn’t want their pack to hold them back, the Aircontact Lite 40 + 10 weighs only 1.6 kg for a full size 40 + 10 Litre pack, even with a low weight the pack features all the necessary features for those looking to adventure in the backcountry.
